Moto Z available in two weeks, pre-order next week

Motorola and Verizon today hosted an event in New York City to announce the release date and price of the Moto Z and Z Force Droid Editions.

The phones will be available for pre-order on July 21st, that's next thursday, and it will finally be on sale the following week, on July 28th. Verizon will be offering them for $26 and $30 per month respectively (paid for 24 months), so its price is comparable to last year's Droid Turbo 2.

Verizon will also offer a trade-in program in which you will be able to trade in your old phone for up to $300 dollars. Isn't that cool?

The new Motorola Moto Z will be available in the rest of the world beginning September. It was announced in June at Lenovo's Tech World event.
